Regardless of what the manuel says, you need to ask a, few more questions. Is the cooker to be used ina domestic kitchen or a commercial kitchen? or a commercial kitchen?. If it's domestic, I would have no concerns. They might on the rare occasion have everything on (Xmas) but even then the various heating components tend to cycle in and out and the only time you have the full 56 amps flowing is on initial switch on. Even that can be avoided by staged switching.I would also agree, consult the manual.
Had one of my most meaningful lessons in diversity in a wool dying premises a few weeks ago. They used twenty two 5.3 kw electric hobs for "cooking" the wool in its dye. They were in use 8 hours/day. They wanted to install two more. They had 3 x 80 amp supply. A total load of 127 kw. I balked. Gut reaction was "no chance". We discussed contacting the DNO about an increase in supply.Once things are cycling according to their respective thermostats the current draw will take a nose dive.
